Can't have it both ways.
You are aware the AFL clubs were invented on the promise you would Provide SA football million of dollars in cash annually. Why else do you think we put $8 mill worth of capital into the licences. For fun ??
So how exactly is us expecting you to deliver on your promise whilst staying the hell away from our league hypocritical at all.
The only thing hypocritical is the fans of the team for all South Australians thinking south Australians football fans are in anyway greedy for expecting you to deliver on your promise. Plus the crows fans stating they apparently hate Victorians whilst sending their hard earned straight to the docklands every season.
Still clueless
They sold the licences
And ?? You think it's just the AFL licences the SANFL gave you.
Do u own the lease at Adelaide Oval or own footy park and incur the costs of running the venues ?? Or does the sanfl
are Port/crows still the first sport stories on seven news/5AAFL or the back page of Adelaide now ?? Or is it SANFL
Guess how Advertiser/Seven news and 5AA filled their sport stories for decades before 1991 Ben. Why did that change almost overnight ?? Why shouldn't we continue to be compensated for our lost media market share we gave to the AFL clubs. When it hasn't been returned.
Crowds of 40k a week dwindled down to 12k due to allowing Adelaide FC the ability to market directly to existing SANFL members. Why should we not continued to be compensated for losing 70% of our supporter/sponsor base.
SANFL spent $8 mill plus the interest costs in the 1990s for these licences and have gained a return of only $15 mill 20 years later which the AFL can pay back over 10 years.
if that's is suppose to compensate for everything we have lost you are clueless.
Keep going to Melbourne for crows game and buying more AFL merchandise you true south Australian football supporter. Oh and Damn those victorian bastards.
Who can't have it both ways ??
